Other states are going to have the same kind of laws…and some go farther than Cali is going to right now: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/many-more-us-states-are-planning-or-already-have-operating-system-age-verification-laws/

This is just the latest.

so now we may have a forked/pirate linux distros because people dont want to be age restricted and phone home.

Many more US states are planning or already have operating system age verification laws

We've already covered how California has a new operating system age-checking law coming into force next year - but many more US states also have plans.

Installation instructions will be in the wiki, should one need them due to regional laws.
